The Social Concerns Ministry would like to take this opportunity to sincerely THANK all the caring parishioners who came to donate to the Parish Blood Drive held on Sunday, March 11, 2018.

These donors helped save the lives of trauma victims, patients with blood disorders, cancer and many other life threatening injuries and illnesses in our local hospitals.

Our goal was set at 49 pints. We had 68 donors registered, 10 were deferred and a total of 58 pints were collected. We would also like to say THANK YOU to everyone who worked and make this drive such a success.

"A Word From Our Holy Father: "Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey. To those who suffer, God does not provide arguments which explain everything; rather, his response is that of an accompanying presence, a history of goodness which touches every story of suffering and opens up a ray of light." ("Lumen Fidei," June 29, 2013).- Pope Francis
